Nimely, a familiar name to Liberian basketball fans, proved that age is just a number. Even retired players can attest to his past reign on the court, where he collected scoring titles and MVP awards.

For those unfamiliar with Nimely’s legacy, imagine flipping through old photo albums, before the age of smartphones, and seeing a young Glenn tearing up the court. That’s the kind of experience Nimely brings – a Liberian version of LeBron James in terms of his incredible longevity in the game.

But Nimely isn’t just coasting on past glories. He’s currently playing some of the best basketball of his career, and with an infectious joy that inspires his teammates and the crowd. His leadership is evident both on and off the court, with a smile that’s always on display as he interacts with players, fans, and even the referees.

Nimely’s passion for the game extends beyond his playing career. He’s actively involved in developing future generations of Liberian basketball stars by coaching two youth teams. His dedication was further highlighted by his recent attempt to run for president of the LBA, although he wasn’t eligible due to technical requirements.

Nimely’s leadership by example is a strong indication that he would be a valuable asset to Liberian basketball in an official capacity. His experience grants him a deep understanding of the sport’s challenges, and the Liberia Basketball Network fully supports his future aspirations in running the game.
